The most surprising element of this quite traditional city centre pub was that they had Beamish on tap, so close to Guinness and all its tourist market - and whatever, if anything, remains of the loyal staff base. As I was heading to a work event in the Guinness Storehouse I decided to partake in a pint of Beamish as the likely only non-Diageo product of the evening.
This is quite a decent pub although there's not really a lot to say about it. I'd imagine it gets quite busy before and after Vicar Street gigs - oddly, while I have been to multiple gigs there, they have nearly always been with someone who was not drinking and driving back for some reason so I have never been in before. Interestingly, on the walls among the photos of old Dublin, they have a print of this photo of the pub which sat opposite Vicar Street and sacrificed its licence to it.
